Drashes: Congregants are invited to sign up to give a drash on some Shabbat or Chag mornings. Please contact me if you are interested. For some tips on giving a drash, click here: How to give a drash. GREEN CHAVURAH Kol
Shofars Green Chavurah is a dedicated and extremely enthusiastic group
of individuals who are committed to transforming the synagogue into a
model of eco-sustainability.... click for more information.
How to Build a Sukkah: We held a Sukkah Building Workshop
at Kol Shofar, where we learned everything we need to build and
decorate a sukkah. Members of our community demonstrated different
models of sukkot, with guidance in how to do-it-yourself. People were so inspired that we thought it would be useful to post the information here on the web, and to start a photo gallery of congregants' sukkot. Please send photos to photos@kolshofar.org
